I got Tapatalk....but:

[NewbieToTraxxas]

So I bought Tapatalk. I also downloaded an image re-sizer. But what app do you guys use to upload photos from your iphone?

[joe831]

I use photobucket.

[O.G.]

I haven't been able to figure out how to do it from my phone using tapatalk. I link my phone to the pc, upload the pics to the pc then to photobucket, then to the forum. Sounds tedious...

[joe831]

Get the photobucket app, its free. Then you can upload the picture and then copy the the img code and post in on here.

Ya use the photobucket app, upload it, then you can put it on here

[O.G.]

Is it possible to post a pic directly from your cell ph using tapatalk? Anyone??

Yes, we just explained how to do it. You can upload a picture you took with your phone and post it, or post a pic already in your photobucket account.

yess it is but lately it has not been working on my iphone

[MAXXXMASHER]

I agree. They changed photobucket and since doing an update, I can't put pics on here. I can't seem to figure out how to do it from there using my Kindle. The only way I can do it is to take a pic with my Ipod, email the pic to myself, open my email on my Kindle, download it onto my Kindle, get on here with Tapatalk, and finally load a pic to the forum. I can do it easily from my PC, of course, but I'm in the process of moving, so I use this all the time. Plus I don't really like the Tapatalk format as much as the classic version. The only time I use Tapatalk is to post pics. So now, I hardly ever post pics. I have about 2000 RC pics that I can't use on Photobucket.

Hey!! Wait a minute!!!! I was just trying everything under the sun to get a pic from my Photobucket on here!! I opened photobucket from my app (rather than in my browser) and got a pic to download to my kindle. From there I can get to the pic whilst using Tapatalk and here's a beautiful pic of my FLM BL E-Maxx!! Hooray! Still can't get a pic directly from photobucket to Tapatalk, but at least I can get at my existing pics.....

All you have to do is open the picture you want in photobucket. Then press your options or setting button and click where it says "links." copy where it says IMG link and paste it into your reply on here with tapatalk. That's it.

[NewbieToTraxxas]

Sounds good but I did notice an issue. I re-sized my pics for upload and they looked wack. Does Photobucket re size automatically?

[Emaxx1991]

Here is way I do u get the photo bucket app (I use it on iPhone and iPad ) the u upload your pics to photo bucket then click on the picture u want to upload and in the upper right hand corner you will see what looks like a chain click on that then tap on IMAGE CODE you will get this then all u have to do is past it here.

Directly from phone ! Just hit the camera button and choose gallery. Works for me.

I finally read this and followed it to the letter. Works great for me, now! Thanks! Sometimes us old guys have trouble getting all these gizmos to work properly.

Haha, glad everyone got it working. As for automatic resizing, I haven't figured how to do that in the app yet.

But your pics are all being posted here as 640x480....photobucket must have it built in...I will try for myself.

This forum automatically resizes larger photos to 640x480 px.

[joe831]

Good to know, that certainly make it easier.

The jeepforum makes you resize and its a real pain to post pics.

That's a tiny pic as viewed on an iPod Touch

[kgombe1]

Actually it on an iPad taken with an iPad.... And was resized by Tapatalk ...it was just to show that Picts can be posted... Although its smaller it's a better quality photo so when resized it has the size in dimensions to make the allowable resolution

I meant I was viewing it on an iPod Touch and it wasn't large enough to see much. It didn't even fill the entire screen.

[nitrofool]

But if you tap the photo you can zoom in on it .

Ok so I tried upload a pict on a different forum and the issue is actually traxxas forum... On the other forum it asked me what size I would like to upload it to and gave me options... On traxxas site it just gave me an image code and it was generated through Tapatalk

Well, I guess the automatic resizing doesn't always work!

It's only automatic re-sizing for tapatalk if you upload the photos with tapatalk.
